NAV to BELL,

Dear Bell: Ill write you short letter
To say I'm wonderfully better;
How much that means you ought to know,
Who saw me just one month ago
Thin, nervous, fretful, white as chalk,
Almost too week to breathe or walk;
Head throbbing, as If fit for breaking,
A weary, ever.present aching.
But now life seems different thing;
l feel as glad as wird on wing!
I say, and fear no contradiction,
That Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Is grand! Why, I'd have died without It!
Ma thinks there's no mistake about 1t.
It's driven all my ills away:
Just come and see! Yours ever, MAY.

But their red glazing eyes token life,
And like steam from geyser
When ii bursts with gush,
Their hot breath Is now heard
In demoniacal rush.
Thus, their quick breath tokens strife.
And 10! From the fevered crowd
Bursts forth yell prolonged and loud.
And rustling off their quietude,
That lively, heated multitude,
Leaps, jumps, falls and flies.
Getting interesting. But we find no
mention of bedroom furniture.
Canto 9Th.
In a vast conglomeration,
In a ceaseless variation,
Intermingling, tearing, Staying,
Tearing one anothers' eyes;
Demonism on their features;
Fighting like internal creatures!
Fiercer growl they, fiercer fight they,
Tear they. growl they, howl they, fight
they!
Quicker, fiercer than before.
Giddier grows II, like whirligig;
But 10! In the east comes the royal sun,
With happy smile on his Furnished rig

Canto 1.
Behold the varied multitude

The burly Tom, the Maltese dude,
Cats long, and short, and low, and tall.
Hark! q big gray rough begins to sneeze,
And the sound profane,
Yells demoniac and Insane
Rent the calm nocturnal air!

broken by his sound profane," would be
anything but calm. Therefore he suggests
a physical impossibility.-ED,l
Canto I'd.
Shrieks of fierce triumph,
Groans OF dispair,
Discordant profanity, can
Be heard there
Fierce and fiendish yells,
Low and stitied groans,
Sound like alarm bells,
And like funeral tones.
This verse shows the unmistakable
hand of an inexperienced and an unob.
serving writer. He anticipates too much.
There is no fight chronicled or even limited
at, and yet his yells of triumph" indicate
the termination of a conflict. Again the
comparison of a Tom cats fierce and
fiendish yells to alarm bells, and kittens
stifled groans to funeral tones is prepos.

common sense teaches US that It would be
full of bedroom furniture, Is absurd

Canto 4th.
Shocking! He's swearing,
In the feline tongue blaring,
And telling of wrongs. he

And enclyoned with passion,
